Birthday Munching With the Bunch

For Mom's birthday the siblings and spouses got together to enjoy dinner at Archibald's in Gardiner Village.  Most of us ordered the special, but a few decided on the halibut since the Trust was paying.  You go girl.  I forgot to take a photo, but should have.   After a taste of the carrot cake, it disappeared before my eyes with a few nibbles.

Our parents birthdays are twenty-five days apart.  Here's a great big 'Happy Birthday to the two of you!' 

What fun we had those summers on the farm, when we weren't working which felt like most of the time.   Jim milked the cows every day, we had chickens to feed, hay to bale and corn to pick.  I remember skinny dipping in the canal, catching skeeters under the 'Big Tree' and wading in the cement ditch.  The real workers were our mom and dad, who almost never took a break.  Thank you for the great heritage you left us.
